Newswire From a news agency Outcome reported
  • Travis Bazzana’s 10th-inning single scored Brayan Rocchio and gave Cleveland a 4-3 win over Detroit.
  • The Guardians swept the doubleheader, with Rocchio hitting two home runs in the first game and Cleveland rallying for a 7-6 victory.
  • Cleveland improved to 72-70 and remained the sole holder of the American League’s final wild-card spot.

Travis Bazzana delivered the winning hit in the 10th inning Friday, driving in Brayan Rocchio as the Cleveland Guardians beat the Detroit Tigers 4-3 and swept their doubleheader.

Bazzana had tied the night game in the eighth inning with a two-run homer off Jacob Waguespack. In the 10th, he lined a hit up the middle against Kenley Jansen after Rocchio reached on a fielder’s choice and stole second and third.

Rocchio had powered Cleveland’s 7-6 victory in the first game. He hit a grand slam in the fourth inning and then a solo homer in the ninth, helping the Guardians complete the comeback.

It marked the first time Cleveland had won both games of a doubleheader with walk-off victories since Aug. 19, 1984, against Milwaukee. Hunter Gaddis pitched two scoreless innings in the night game to earn the win and keep Cleveland, at 72-70, alone in the American League’s final wild-card position.
